Run Checks in CI

Continue watches your repository for pull requests, runs each check defined in .continue/checks/, and reports results as GitHub status checks. A green check means the code passed; a red check means the code failed, with a suggested fix.

Prerequisites

A Continue account
A GitHub repository with at least one check file in .continue/checks/ (see Write Your First Check)

Connect GitHub

Go to continue.dev and sign in (or create an account).
Navigate to the GitHub integration page.
Click Connect GitHub and authorize Continue.
Select the repositories you want Continue to monitor.

Once connected, Continue will start running checks on new pull requests in the selected repositories.

How checks are discovered

Continue reads the .continue/checks/ directory from your repository's default branch. Every .md file in that directory becomes a check that runs on every PR. No additional configuration is needed — commit a check file and it is active.

The PR workflow

When a pull request is opened, reopened, or updated:

Each check file runs independently against the PR diff.
Results appear as GitHub status checks on the PR.
If a check passes, it shows a green checkmark.
If a check fails, it shows a red X with a suggested diff.
Click the check details link in GitHub to see the full reasoning on continue.dev.

Accept or reject suggestions

When a check fails and suggests changes:

Click the check's Details link on the PR in GitHub. This opens the result on continue.dev.
Review the suggested diff.
Accept to apply the changes as a commit to the PR branch.
Reject to dismiss the suggestion. The check will re-run on the next push.
